Returns Rate Audit
A three-to-five week review of your return reasons, refund timing, and category hotspots — delivered as printed and digital boards your buying and CX teams can stand around together.
We start with export files from your OMS or returns desk, then rebuild the rate picture by SKU family, channel, and reason code. You leave with annotated boards, a prioritised action list, and a live walkthrough in Birmingham or on a scheduled call.

What clients say after the boards go up
